Overview

The FARO RUSH 800 beacon is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate gardens, parks and walkways. It is installed directly in the ground and provides warm, stable light along its entire 80-centimetre height. The 360-degree lighting option distributes light symmetrically in all directions, leaving no areas in shadow.

The aluminium body with transparent polycarbonate diffuser makes this lamp resistant to outdoor conditions. The IP65 rating protects against rain and suspended particles, while the IK10 level guarantees high mechanical resistance to impacts.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in technical and decorative lighting. Its outdoor products are designed for real spaces where durability is not optional.

Installation and specifications

Before installing this outdoor lamp, check that the electrical supply point is prepared for outdoor use and that the wiring is properly protected underground. The beacon is fixed to the ground via a lower anchor — make sure the base is level to avoid tilting. Wiring must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

To keep the lamp in good condition, clean the body with a damp cloth without abrasive products. The polycarbonate diffuser may accumulate dust over time — simply clean it with water and a soft cloth. Do not submerge the lamp or expose it to direct jets of water even though it has IP65 rating.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 belongs to a technical collection designed specifically for outdoor use. This is not a decorative lamp that withstands the elements with reservations, but a product built from the ground up to function outdoors. That shows in every design decision: the aluminium body, the polycarbonate diffuser, the impact protection level and the IP65 rating that keeps the interior of the lamp dry even when it rains heavily.

The colour temperature of 2700K produces warm light, similar to classic incandescent. This tone is particularly pleasant in gardens and pathways, where cool lighting can feel too clinical. The lantern emits the kind of light that invites you to stay outdoors once night falls, without being aggressive or excessive.

The transparent polycarbonate diffuser works together with COB LED technology to distribute light evenly. The 360-degree option makes this beacon especially useful on paths, squares or garden areas where light must reach in all directions without creating sharp shadows. There are no hot spots or dark bands: the lighting covers the surroundings evenly.

The lamp is 800 millimetres tall with a compact profile of 160 millimetres per side. That proportion makes it visible from a distance without being bulky. The dark grey body colour fits well in both vegetated environments and paved spaces, without visually competing with the surroundings. It is a discreet presence by day and functional at night.

The lantern includes an integrated COB LED light source, so there is no need to purchase anything separately. The compatible voltage ranges from 100V to 240V, meaning it can be used without adapters in virtually any standard domestic electrical installation.

This beacon fits well on access paths to homes, terrace edges, garden perimeters or walkways in residential communities. It can also be combined with other lamps from the RUSH collection to create a coherent lighting line along a path. The ensemble gives a sense of continuity and order without the need for additional elements.

The IK10 protection level is the highest in its category for impact resistance. That makes it suitable for transit areas where there may be accidental contact with the lamp, without this posing a risk of immediate breakage or deterioration.

Those looking for rechargeable or solar options to avoid wiring will find that this model does not go in that direction. The RUSH 800 is a fixed electrical connection beacon, designed for permanent installations where supply stability is prioritised over placement flexibility. Unlike a solar or rechargeable lamp, it does not depend on charging conditions or battery life: it works every night with the same intensity, without variation. It also does not incorporate a motion sensor or presence detectors, as it is conceived to provide continuous and constant illumination during the hours programmed from the general electrical system.

This has a practical consequence that becomes apparent with use: the exterior of the garden or access path always appears illuminated in the same way, without lights switching on and off intermittently. For those who value that visual stability, it is a clear advantage over sensor-based or variable solar-charging solutions. Fixed lights create a sense of security and order that intermittent options do not always manage to maintain.

In terms of integration with the surroundings, the RUSH 800 works well both in gardens with a contemporary aesthetic and in more natural outdoor spaces with stone or wood. The dark grey finish does not impose a specific style: it adapts effortlessly to concrete, gravel or compacted earth surfaces. Placed alongside low shrubs or at the edge of a vegetated path, the lamp does not break the scene but defines it discreetly. At night, the warm light it emits adds depth to the space without making it feel artificial.

If the project requires illuminating an entrance lantern or marking the perimeter of a landscaped area with a certain visual presence, the height of 800 millimetres provides exactly that: a beacon that is visible, fulfils its function and does not need any additional elements to be well integrated. With several units distributed along a path, the result is visually striking without requiring a complex installation or high energy consumption.

Questions and answers

What does it mean that this beacon has IP65 protection?

The IP65 rating indicates that the lamp is completely protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor installation without the need for additional protection against rain.

Is the COB LED light source included with the lamp?

Yes, the lamp includes the factory-integrated LED. There is no need to purchase any bulb separately or make any additional adjustments in that regard before installation.

What level of impact resistance does this outdoor beacon offer?

The body has an IK10 rating, which corresponds to the maximum level of protection against mechanical impacts according to European standards. This makes it suitable for walkways or gardens with frequent use.
